As a restaurant critic, I had the pleasure of dining at Sunny Side Up Cafe in Tucson, Arizona, and let me tell you, it was a stellar experience. I couldn't resist trying their renowned Catalina Special, and boy, was it a delight!The dish consisted of two succulent sausage patties nestled on top of perfectly flaky biscuits. And let's not forget about the scrambled eggs that were expertly cooked to fluffy perfection. To top it all off, a generous drizzle of savory gravy elevated the flavors to new heights.The combination of the sausage, biscuits, eggs, and gravy created a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate with every bite. The dish was not only visually appealing but also incredibly satisfying to taste. The ingredients were fresh, and the portion size was just right.The service at Sunny Side Up Cafe was exceptional, with attentive staff who made sure my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall charm of the place.I highly recommend Sunny Side Up Cafe to anyone craving a hearty and delicious breakfast. Whether you're a local or just passing through Tucson, this charming eatery is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I have a grandson with special needs. He loves for me to take him there. They are all so good with him. He loves the food but he's very messy. I was trying to clean it up but the gentleman said don't worry just let him enjoy his food we'll take care of the mess. It put such a smile on Jackson's face. Everything we drive by there He says my friends are in there Grandma?

A nice local place where locals gather! A great home town vibe with lots of charm and great food. Celeste was one of the best servers I’ve ever had in the US. Ignore all the ketchup on my breakfast bowl pic. It doesn’t come that way. They also had some great specials including a lunch burger that I might have to go back and try. Looking for a small town homey vibe? This is it.

Food wasn’t bad. Never got a refill on coffee. Waitress was busy doing all the closing work while everyone else was standing around. Won’t be back

Cheapest fatty Sausage you can buy. The place is filthy. The owner is rude to staff and guests. Jerry Bobs is much better

I love the breakfast options here. The photo shows their breakfast combo plate is shown with hash browns instead of fries. Choice of meats are all good, but I like the small sausages they serve. Best breakfast platter I have ever had!

All in all a great local haunt and favorite of my brother and sister in law. Good food AND a great view of coyotes meandering close by in the creek bed.
Love it. Great place! ?
